INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups wholewheat flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
220gr unsalted butter at room temperature
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cups vanilla yogurt
½ cups lingonberry jam (or any fruit jam)
170gr semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup vanilla yogurt

METHOD

Preheat oven to 180C. Prepare loaf pan by greasing and dusting with flour. If using silicone loaf pan, you can skip this part.

In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (approx 3 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, continuing to beat after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add yogurt. Add dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Pour batter onto loaf pan.

Bake for 60 minutes (or longer depending on your oven) until cake tester (or toothpick or skewer) comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove from pan to rack and let cool to room temperature.

When cooled, slice the loaf cake lengthwise in 3 pieces. Spread fruit jam on top of two of the pieces. Put pieces back on top of each other, with the top layer being the piece with no fruit jam spread on it. Set aside.

Make the frosting by melting chocolate on heatproof bowl over boiling water or in a double boiler on low heat.

Stir until all melted then add yogurt. Continue stirring until smooth and shiny. Remove from heat and spread over top and sides of loaf cake.
